SIIOPLIFTEIaS.
Some of Their Clovor Tricks and

It is not hy reason of

an edict liy
old kick" is
frointr out of use,
.".OS ,f the penal
hut liecuuse section
xle makes it a critni-
nal offense for anyone ti have it in his
or her possession. It is I oth in sorrow
and in anvr that shoplifters are part ins1
with it; hut the "cops"' having "j-ot on"
to it it had to ro, for it stood as conclu
sive proof aprainst its owner.
From several stnresdeteet ives learned
that the iiiethi k,Is Used in wtr!iiiy'
the old kick" had become so w-ll
known to tln-tn and to salesgirls that
s'loplifters saw the necessity of keep
ing pace with a roressive a.LTe. So a
more convenient contrivance was rot
ten up. It is called a "hoist in;' kick."
This consists of a rentlar dn-ss skirt,
so far as app ;: ranee jrocs. covered lv
an apron ovcrskirt. hjch is short, and
cuJt lie raised easily.
In the front of the nmiersuirt is a
"wide vertical slit which is l.ut 1 lie open
in"; to the immense ha"; which the
underskirt consists of, it k'oin; around
the entire body ami down to the heels.
This was foumJ more convenient than
the sid "kick." from the fact that it
necessitated less movement and a mo
tion that aroused little suspicion.
The thief would stand close to a
counter where small articles are ex
posed, penerally lace or silk handker
chiefs or stockings. She would take
one in her hands, examine it. hold it on
the edjre in front of her. call for some
thin;.' else, anl while the salesgirl had
her back turned would slip it into the
slit.
As the ''kick is made of paper mus
lin the stolen articles would slip down
easily. Should the thief miss the
aperture a rare occurrence, for they
an- persons of nerve the artich would
i;iil on the floor arid the thief would
pick it up, replace it on the counter
and claim that it was au accident,
which it really was.
Tli is worked well, until several shop
lifters usin;r this "kick" were arrested
and searched, which exposed the whole
thin;,', and now there art; few of them
in existence. So the evil-doer's genius
had ujrain t lie called into requisition,
and a woiitan who was arrested in a
Sixth avenue store showed how she had
improved oa tliat style.
She wore a ln-autiful flouneed dress
covered with a short apron ovcrskirt,
draped and caught up here and there in
such a way as t form nat tiral-l.okin
pulls. This went iiround the entire
txly, and a little to the riht was a
pocket, rendered absolutely invisible
by the drapery. When searched uu in
credible amount of articles of all sorts
stolen from dilTcreut stores were found
in the underskirt.
A detective told me that a notorious
shoplifter was once caught who had in
her "kick" two pieces of lace of twenty-five
yards ea h. worth twenty-nine
dollars a yard; two pairs of silk stoek
infrs one silk and one lace, handker
chief, a piece of scented soap and a
I'rummajrem scarf pin worth forty-ei-rht
cents all of which she Lad stolen in
vurions stores in Sixth avenue. And,
strange to say, it was the cheapest of
the articles that lictrayed her t lie cake
of soap, valued at eighteen cents. An
other was caujjht with sixteen yards of
silk, valued at one hundred and twenty
dollars in her "kick."
Another clever device wliich was
potten np almost contemporaneously
with the "kick" was the clastic hand
In) x. It was made like a gentleman's
hxtlox, of cardiMiard, the cover being
held close to the box by two clastic
bands in the Interior of the lxt. The
purloincr would place the bandlxrx on
a counter containing articles that had
captured hei fancy, especially where
there were few salesgirls.
She would call for certain cheap ar
ticles which would cause the salesgirl
to turn her back to the purchaser.
The shoplifter would then lift the cover
of the 1kx with one Land, throw in as
many articles as the could take hold of,
and by means of the elastic luuds the
cover would Ik instantly and automati
cally closed, leaving no trace of the
ro"b liery.
The contrivance was so deceptive, by
reason of its innocent apitcurauce and
r-iU.m ,Vttrt. so to speak, and worked so
admirably, that, it was a long time lie
fore the detectives VauL'ht on." unit
many thousand dollars worth of arti
cles were stolen by this means ln-fore
an arrest was made. The first capture
ras caused by a salesgirl at a luce
counter iu a Twenty-third street store.
She bad not urn the shoplifter put
anything in the bandltox, but bud lieoa
attracted ty the singular manner In
which the cover was closed apparent
ly of it.self. She notified a floorwalker.
The woman was ealhil into a private
iMorn, accused and searched, and in the
bandliox were articles enough to start
a miniature country fancy goods store.
Among other things she had thirteen
scarfs, an inkstaml, a cigar holder and
a dice 1hx. stolen from different stores
which showed that her tastes ex
tended over a wide field.
Well, the bandlx-.x has had a brilliant
but comparatively brief career, and
few arrests were caused by its use, but
those that were made occurred within
a few days and the workers of the con
trivance saw that the game was up and
gave up the ghost. There is no record
of any having lieem used recently.
This was in time succeeded by a
simpler trick, one that has long beeri
worked with success lccatise it creates
no suspicion. It is the satchel game.
Although store detectives say it is com
paratively dormant just now, it was ex
tensively workisl during the holidays.
These are used for stealing pocket
Ikxi1;s as well a-s (foods.
They are, in appearance, like ordi
nary hand satchels but they open and
close by means of a spring. The
thiefs right hand presses a button, and
the left, which is always unirloved. does
the rest. It is by this means that
poekctlxioks are oftenest stolen in
crowded dry goods stores and this has
served to make trouble for many sales
girls. The pickpocket (for such he or she
is) generally works with a eon fed--rate.
She first espies a woman with a XK-ket-Ixxik
in her hand and they are legion.
She will follow that woman in the gen
erally gratified expectation that she
will ere long deposit it on the counter
where she stops to examine gixxls.
The thief will crowd near and snatch
the pocket b Nils in a twinkling at the
first opportunity and pass it to the con
federate, who disappears and has not
been noticed near. The real thief can
remain lx-side the victim with safety,
as. should she 1x2 arrested, nothing can
be found on her.
As the Ix-st inventions are generally
the simplest so are the latest and most
successful methods of shoplifting.
These are three. One is done by means
of the cloak Known as the eonnepiara.
This is made somewhat like a circular.
It is a long, lwse cloak, covering even
the hands. It enables the thief not only
to steal with a greater degree of safety
but also to conceal her Ixxity.
All she has to do is to get near a
crowded counter, throw the edge of her
cloak partly over the article which she
covets, slin her hand i:ndei':ie1h the
) cloak, take the article, step hack anil
hold it in her hand. I'nless she is
caught in the act she cannot lxi arrested
or even suspected.
Allot ner is still simpler. The thief
lays her handkerchief carelessly on
some small article she wants to steal,
feigns a desire to buy something else,
is not suited, and while the saleslady
replaces the goods on the shelf the thief
picks up her Ixxity with her handker
chief. 1 f she should happen to Ix; caught
she naturally claims that she did not
know that she had the stolen article iu
her possession.
The third one is worked by means of
a handbag containing twine and wrap
ping paper. This bag is curried in the
left hand and filled with whatever
gixxls the shoplifter can secure; then
she will go into the toilet room or some
side street, take out the gixxls, paper
and twine, wrap them up iu a neat par
cel and try again or go away unmo
lested. Uut perhaps the cleverest of the shop
lifters' tricks is the "pennyweighter
game. It is known t but few and
practised by a still smaller numlx-r, for
it is a difficult one. It has lx-en most
successfully worked by a pretty little
blonde, with a Lahy face, blue eyes,
curly hair and the general appearance
of a lx'r itching soabrctte. Her profes
sional name is "Little Seotty." She
came to grief in lloston and was given
three years.
Her iiuxle of working is to go to a
jewelry store and ask to be shown
loose diamonds on a tray. She pre
tends tobe very shortsighted and lx-nds
over and very close to the tray, exam
ining the diamonds through an eye
glass. She exposes her left hand so as
not to lx? suspected, and at a propitious
moment drops a omearat diamond into
the tray, and with her tongue, on the
point of which she has pulveriicd alum,
she licks up a two-carat diamond. She
cannot l:nd the exact counterpart of
the one she wants to match (which she
has not with her) and gx;siiitoanother
store where she exchanges her two
carat diamond in a similar manner for
a three-carat, and so on ad infinitum.
When she was caught she had started
with a one-carat diamond and bad
reached six and a half carats, making
three or four hundred dollars in a few
hours. Store detectives say that there are
comparatively few professional shop
lifters in the city now, and once they
are caught they disappear hs soon us
the law permits and nver return.
They go to other cities They say that
supxsedly respectable women now
give them more trouble than thieves
I found out, to my astonishment, that
there are comparatively few of our
large stores who employ detectives the
majority of them t raining their sales
girls and lb xir walkers to do that work.
Still. I found one which, besides hav
ing a man detective, also employed a
woman, who mixes among customers
in full street costume.
Not all store thieves are canght, and
those who art; captures! are not always
prosecuted. And this entails a loss to
each first-class store which runs up into
the thousands and which has a place
in the "profit and loss" account. N.

A MILLION TONS OF SNOW.
The l earful Kosh of n Aralnnche 1'roiu j
y or.nt.iln Fenk t iul b. -
Alxn.t two thousand feet from the
Denver ,t IMo ('ramie depot there is a
mass of snow in one lump which con
tains alxmt one million tons of water.
The mass represents a snowslide which
came from the summit of Kendall
mountain the night of Fe bruary -'.'5. The
point where the snow broke from the
apex of tV.e mountain is probably two
and a half miles from the railroad track,
and the slide made the run according
to witnesses who heard the crash at
the start and the crunch when it stopped
- less than two minutes.
Monday r.ight was a terror. The
mercury had shrunk away down in the
bulb, and everyone expected to sec the
climax of the storm. Alxmt S o'clock
great banks of snow began to accumu
late and pile up in fnntastic shapes on
the mountu'm tops. Then came pull's of
wind as strong as a gale, uinl miniature
whirlwinds scurried here and there all
over the park, toying with the lxse
lxiards ami sending up columns of sixirt
ive Mimvl!aU says the Silverton (Col.)
Min.-r.
Higher and thicker and darker the
cl mil battlements piled over tlio Aniinas
canyon, while those up the Animas,
like castles of light riding on billows of
resplendent silver, hximcl in magitiu
ecnt grandeur. Over and among thus.'
aerial mountains the moon peeped
through iiifi'.lly and cast in a Jbxxl of
dazzling light.
Ity V o"chx;k the storm was at it--height.
The wind tort; through the
foliage on the hillsides and. hatt-ring
at the buildings hurled defiance ::t man
kind. Serpentine lines of glittering fire
gleamed from lx-twecn the rev.'. ; in the
clouds, und loud detonations from the
battlements on high prx.-laimed the
march of the storm.
It was alx'tit midnight when, alxve
the roar of the elements far above the
clouds upon old Kendall, the loud
"crae-k-k" wiis hearL Then a "cn -k-i,
crooih. crunch"'' and then the wT-.ole
mountainside seemed to le coming
with a fearful and indescribable err. .h.
Thousand., of tons of snow were shot
out of that wide space alwive timWr
line and piled into Idaho gulch, ami
brushing down every tiling before it.
Trees rx-ks banks of frozen earth
all shared in a common fate, and to see
that monster coining, us it seem.-d,
from the clouds, would have lx-en a
grand sight. Thev was no stop to the
colossal mass when it struck the iX.:,t.
Making its own road i.s it cou;-; i d itt
rats-, tilling in a.11 declivi' ! :;. it con-"
tinned on its mud race until it reached
the river.
Instead of stopping there, it smeared
a bridge for itself and coiitin-a-d over
the railroad track, carrying with it two
telegraph poles the V and spread itself
final'y over the town site, within two
hundred yards from the main street c-f
Silverton.
Such a slide has never lx-fore 1xen
set n here, and to those who have never
s,-en one and are skeptical of its tre
mendous energy, we invite their atten
tion to this one ln-fore going elseuhere.
tmee bciore in me History oi tnis town
has the Idaho gulch slide come down, i
and that was in 179, wncn it barely
reached the river. The snow now lies
six feet solid on the r;;ilroad track.
. At the foot of the gulch it is at least
one hundred and thirty feet deep. It is
full of timber trees from six inches to
two feet in diameter broken into splint
ers rx.-ks weighing tons are scattered
through it, while the entire Ixxly is as
solid as is itself. People go every day
to view this giant of the mountains, and
it will contin.ie to lx a source of inter
est until it melts lxi-ncath the rays of
our Julv sun.
r BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND.
It. Uam
anI the i:xt-nt to Which it
I'reruil.
Out of the thirty-two millions of sub
jects over whom her majesty now
reigns as jueen of reat llritain. taken
in round nuintx-rs, alxmt thirty-two
thousand are said to Ir- blind. This es
timate, however, says the Edinburgh
Kcview, must be understood to imlude
a considerable numlx-r of those partial
ly deprived of sight, as, during the last
forty years, the ratio of blind persons
in every million has slowly but steadily
fnllen from ten hundred and twenty to
eight hundred and nineteen, a decrease
of one-fifth of one per cent. The small
ness of this decrease, when so much
has been done in other directions to
lewn the ravages of disease, arises
from two facts tirst, that in a consider
able numlx-r of cases blindness is the
result of some untoward accident
stone-throwing, a splinter of broken
glass, a sudden blow or fall, and sec
ondly, and in a still larger numlx-r of
eases is the result of neglect, ill-treatment
or exposure to cold when the vic
tim was but a few days or weeks olcL
So large a percentage of blindness, in-ih-ciL
is due to this cause that the royal
commissioners while noting it, sug
gest a special remedy, viz., the em
ployment of trained inidwives among
the poor, and the careful use of Kr
ehloride of mercury for washing the
eyes.
Thirty per cent, of all the cases in
schools and asylums are due to puru
lent ophthalmia, for which this pre p
a rat ion is found to lx- the best remedy,
at once cheap, harmless and easily pro
cured, a point of vital importance when
it is remcmlH-red that "one or two days
make all the difference lx-tween saving
and hising vision." The numlx-r of chil
dren actually blind from birth is com
paratively small, but that of those who
afterward liecom" blind 1mm accident
or disease goes on increasing; and it is
on these two latter points therefore,
that legislation is demanded and can do
good. Iu such trades as are found to
lx.' directly injurious t the sight, as
iron ship building, granite work,
grinding of cutlery, etc., where a chance
spark or splinter is too often fatal, the
use of some special covering for the
eye might be made compulsory, while
in the case of infantile disease prevent
ative measures are still more easily
within reach.
A XVhlte Hot I'encll.
lyrogravnre is a newly invented
process for drawing patterns upon
wood or other combustible material by
means of a graving point which is kept
at a white heaL This point is ol
platinum, and it is kept hot by a supply
of mingled air and hydrocarbon vapor.
tHher means have before been adopted
for burning ornamental devices upon
wood for decorative purposes, and such
ornamentation, if artistically carried
out, is very effective in appearance.

Suits huU lU-Httrm-d at 1-itf,
to tho Sorrow of All.
An Alabama merchant, says the New
York Kvening Sun, who lived many
years in a country town in that state,
entertained a pr rty of friends lat night
with son.e stories of an ol 1 countryman
who held the. of.ire of justice of the
peace down there for many years.
"Jerry Ilenson didn't know nnyth'ng
alxrat law lKxVks never read one in l.i s
life," he said, "bnt be Led r. big heart
and level head. His neighbors all loved
him, and when he was elected justice
of the i-eace in Mulberry township.
Ala., they knew he would deal out
pure and unadulterated justice without
:my legal frills or formalities. Jerry
held the oiiice eighteen years bchig
reelected eight times without opposi
tion. "Three difTer.'-nt governors threat
ened to remove him. five grand juries
investigated him. but every ti:;:c he
came oi.t with colors 1! -:ng, m- I .iu.'ge

stat-.;.
"The judge's library eonMstedof a
Tiibie. a form oooit ani an almanac,
but in time he picked up a score or
more of legal phrases from the lawyers
who practiced in his court, lie had lit
tle patience with lawyers, especially
when they attempted to secure a rul
ing in their client's favor on legal
technicalities.
"When his neighlxrs quarreled and
threatened to go to law, .Judge llensoa
always advised them to settle the mat
ter outside of court if possible, and
save costs. If they pcrsi-Usl and
brought suit, he often lniiCe them re
gret their failure to take his a Iv'.;.1 by
his bill for costs. When pe, 1 went to
law in his court somebody had to pay
the costs.
"Lawyers often exhausted his pa
tience by asking awitnc--, scc:ni:igly
unnecessary questions, a;id then he
would take a hand, and cither ask the
questions himself or answer for the
witness
"Xo case was too large or too small
for .lu Ige Denson. He tried men for
murder and let them off v. it a a lite-of
ten dollars and costs, granted divorces
sentenced prisoners to six and twelve
months' hard labor on his own farm,
and enforced the sentence. He ab.o
tried cases resulting from family quar
rels suits for debts of ten cents, suits
that bad no legal basis or status; in
fact, all was grist that came to his
milL
"One day a case was on trial and the
plaintiff's lawyer was asking the w it
ness unne3essary questions Ton.
Simpson, one of the judge's neighlxirs
took the stand and the lawyer began:
''What did 1 understand you to say
your name w as?
' 'Torn Simpson.
" 'Mr. Simpson, where do you reside?"
'Here Judge lK-nson interrupted, and
turning to the lawyer, said: His name
is Tom Simpson; he lives on Turkey
creek: moved there from Winsto.i coun
ty fourteen year, ago: lie owe., me lodr
dollars and six bits; been owin' it nigh
on to a year now; he married old man
Scth Alb-n's gal Ntiney.
'Mayiw you know Scth; he's a
brother of Steve Allen that run for
sheriff two years ago. Scth lives at the
old llascom plaee: bougiit it from Han
Smith; give him four hundred dollars
a '.i a spavined boss for it- Now go on
with the case. Mr. Lawyer, and Turn,
mind you tell the truth. I knowed your
old daddy 'fore you was lximed. an" a
hone.-tcr man than old Hill Simpson
never breathed the breath of life."
"Alter this complete biography of
the witness the lawyer proceeded di
rectly to the facts of the. case.
"The first murder ease Judge Den
son ever tried was that of a negro who
h:id killed another colored man. The
murdered man had a bad reputation,
s-.nd there was some provocation for
the deeL When the cose was called
the tlefendant had two lawyers and a
score of witnesses while numerous
friends of the d ad man were present
to see that justice was done. Judge
Denson did not propose to waste valu
able time on negroes, so he called on
the prisoner to stand up.
'"Xow, there ain't no use denyin'
i
that you killed that negro,' he said, 'for
they say the proofs all agin you; but
he needed kUlin' about as bad. as any
one in this settlement, and I guess
everybody's glad to be rid of him. llut
courts can't work for nothin", prisoner,
so I'll Cne yoa ten dollars and costs
"The Cne was paid, and while this
di'-p.isition of the case excited some
comment nothing wu-. ever ! .!.' nHmt
it. the p.-ople f the neighborh-xxi

t!i:'t it was a good way to get rid of the

"O-.ico a civil case was tried by Den

the attorneys held a brief consultation
to decide upon th or.h r in v.Vich they
should speak. As the lir,t one rose t

"When asked once for an explanation
of such utiwarraated proceedings his
reply was that the law allowed him
costs in every cast; be tried, and. if a
man had no money, how teas the court
to get the cost if he didn't work it out ?
To tiiis logical opinion there was no
reply, and no one ever interfered with
the judge afterward.
4The redeeming features of Judge
Denson's remarkable administration of
justice was that he us.ially managed to
get at the truth of a case, and never
allowed any legal technicalities to in
fluence his decisions. If a man was
guilty he was punished in some w ay.
and if innocent he was discharged.
True, the judge decided a great many
cases over which the laws of the state
gave him no jurisdiction, and in many
ways he violated th letter of the stat
utes, but as hi decisions were usually
just from a moral standpoitit, they were
allowed t staml
Several times dissatisfied parties to
civil suits and lawyers called the atten
tion cf t!..; governor or the grand jury
to Denson's mct'i.v.l of doing business
but every investigation resulted in a
vindication for the judge. Once he
was called before a grand jury and
asked if he knew what law was.
" 'Yes,' he answered. 'Law is a lot of
stiiiT put in lxxiks by lawyers to keep
honest jH-ople out of their rights"
"The jury thought this definition
was so Jiear the truth that they allowed
the judge to go. After eighteen 3 ears'
service he declined to accept the office
again, to the regret of his friends."
